I love mantels. This is such a great spot to throw-in those punches of color. In a "staged" home the idea is to return all the walls to neutral and target the broadest audience (potential buyers). However, I like to find fun ways to throw in color and in staging I do this withe my accessories.

This is a new color-scheme I've added to my collection. It is very trendy and in my opinion looks fantastic in any room! The aqua blue colors are calming and take me to a beach-like environment and the "punches" of orange really just make me happy, reminds me of sunshine:)

The kitchen is definately still in progress. So stay tuned...

I will be adding some things to this table and possibly be changing the table cloth. We'll see...

The buttery yellow color turned-out so nice, I just love it, I may even use it somewhere in my house. It really brightened up the space and goes SO well with the blue accessories. Again, makes me want to get to the beach!

I hope you enjoyed this small "sneak-peak" of my current stage. Stay tuned next week for complete photos of this property and/or a slideshow!

My Favorite Things...

I love vignettes. Sure, setting-up furniture so it looks just right is nice, but "setting" the "scene" is the fun part. Champagne or wine glasses, some mugs and cereal bowls on a tea-tray, or some slippers near the bed...all of these items let a potential buyer visualize what they can do in the space. The soaking bath is a great spot for some spa-items. A book on the table next to a chair seated in the bedroom nook. In the office, a few magazines, a book-opened on the desk, and maybe a pad of paper and pen. The kitchen offers an array of ideas- cutting boards with some artificial veggies and fruits, a table-setting with apples, oranges, etc...Yes, putting it all together is fun, but the vignettes are my favorite!
